Depth Varying Roughness
Peter Aylett discusses the concept behind depth-varying roughness and why it is important to apply in hydraulic models.
Depth-Varying Roughness
Update to the Flood Estimation Handbook (FEH) Statistical Method
This week saw the release of the new Flood Estimation Handbook (FEH) 2025 methodology, data and guidance.
All new hydrological analyses undertaken from now on should make use of this new methodology; any projects that are currently in progress fall within a transition timeframe, which differs between regulators. We’ll be speaking to our clients to ensure that they understand how this could impact their projects. Full details are available on the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology website.
Seoul Searching
Minnie’s Journey Through South Korea
While visiting South Korea, I was struck by how Seoul has embraced nature in its urban design. As a flood risk professional, the integration of water management and public space highlighted the city’s innovative approach to building resilience against climate change and increasingly intense monsoon rains. This is particularly true of the Cheonggyecheon restoration.

Navigating the challenges of flood risk for planning
Communicating the Incomprehensible
Edenvale Young Associates are trialling a number of informative training webinars to explain the complexities of our craft. The series will start on the 12th February 2025 at 12:00 GMT.
John Young, one of our founding Directors, will be talking about Flood Risk Assessments (FRA’s). The webinar will use examples from his experiences of the work undertaken in Bristol, but the content will be applicable to sites throughout England.
Please note, in Wales the equivalent to an FRA is a Flood Consequence Assessment (FCA). These must conform to different legislation but they are similar enough for this webinar to be useful to those undertaking projects in Wales.
National Assessment of Flood Risk
On Tuesday 17 December 2024, the Envionment Agency (EA) published new data showing 6.3 million properties across England are based in areas at risk of flooding from one or a combination of rivers, the sea and surface water.
These updated assessments provide a clearer understanding of flood risk around the country and the data will be used by the government, Environment Agency and local communities to plan for and improve flood resilience in areas at risk.
